Build Your Own Security Lab: A Field Guide for Network Testing 1st Edition

After taking several classes in the local Jr College to study for my CCNA, I came to realize that I was not interested in going down the CISCO certification path. So I started looking at other certifications and decided to work towards a CEH and LPT certification. After my experience with the CISCO classes, I understood that I would either have to rent time through a web lab or create my own. This book that I found that followed my mine set of build it on a shoe string and expand as your needs require. This book is great for me because the author introduces the subject in a way I can pick it up from the book and do the hands on stuff with having to already know the subject or have a reference source to go to for questions.If you already know the subject matter, than pass this book on by for a more advanced book. If like me, you are in IT and expanding your knowledge, then this is a great book.

I wouldn't pay for this new, I would buy this used at this point.......... add it to your security library but don't count on anything cutting edge. This is a foundation book at this point.

I am only about half way through digesting this book but it is clear to me that the orientation for a beginner is helpful. We learn the terminology and the history. We also get concrete steps to take. I am hopeful that this book will help me to generate data within one more week.

This is a well laid out guide for creating a test lab. It's great for beginners looking at getting into the computer security or networking field. Anyone with 1-2 years of experience would (or should) probably know everything in this book. Nonetheless, the author does a great job presenting information to the reader.
